Why Indian Land Measurement Is Confusing
Buying land or calculating agricultural yield in India can be a mathematical nightmare. While the world uses standard metric units like Square Meters and Hectares, Indian land records rely on regional units that change every few hundred kilometers.
A Bigha in Uttar Pradesh is not the same as a Bigha in West Bengal, and a Guntha in Maharashtra may be unheard of in Punjab.
